The firm of James Shoolbred and Co. was established circa 1870, later expanding to become one of the first great department stores in London on the Tottenham Court Road. Shortly afterwards they branched out into the furniture trade as cabinet makers. The firm was renowned for the quality of its wares and was issued with a Royal warrant in the mid 1880s.
